Why it matters

"We're going to continue working up until the last minute," he told reporters in Washington on Friday evening.

"Our job is not finished." Negotiators have until Friday night to hammer out the details of the deal or risk a fresh wave of additional US tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods.
